I have shopped here THREE times and each is worse than the last. I have bought frozen food items,…read moreground meat, seafood and brisket. And while the frozen soup is minimally acceptable everything else is trash. Their prices are minimally less than sale items at your local grocer and worse quality. Case in point. Their brisket Tri tips are more than 85% fat cap. I marinated two of these this weekend for 24 hours. Rinsed. Dry rubbed. Smoked low and slow. In this case 95% by weight measured pure fat. The 5% left was tougher than a shoe-under the same time, wood, temperature as your average lousy Costco cut that turns out fine. Tonight was so bad that for the first time in a decade I had to apologize to my family and encourage them to eat anything they could find in the house worthwhile to eat. Their meat quality made me feel ashamed. UWP does not stand for for University of Wisconsin Provisions. It stands for Unfortunately We (Are) Purina. As in its worthy of dog food. If you HATE your dog.

I do have a couple vendors that I regularly visit. 1. Chippy's popcorn- the popcorn and fresh lemonade are delicious 2. K and C bakery- Ohhhhh the cookies!!!!! 3. Spark Spices- the spice blends are AMAZING 4. Natalie's Greenhouse- the fresh veggies and hanging basket flowers are top notch!

One of the smallest farmers' markets in Madison, but also one of the friendliest. They have live…read moremusic every week and picnic tables where you can snack, enjoy the music, and soak up some sun on an easy Sunday morning. Of course they have fruits, veggies, popcorn, interesting looking mushrooms, jellys and jams, salsas, and flowers, but Farmer Johns' Cheeses, Stalzy's Deli baked goods, and Stella's famous cheese bread is represented here too. You can even score some rare items like ghost and fatali peppers toward the end of the summer. They even have a Hmong family that have a stall that pumps out egg rolls, stuffed chicken wings, bubble tea, and chicken for there or to go. Feel free to hang out and make the rounds, talk to the farmers, have a bite, and listen to a few tunes. If you are pressed for time before football starts on a Sunday, simply park in Ahuska Park, grab what you need, and be out in less than 5 minutes. Enjoy and support local businesses and families.

Woodman's Market...may be the first grocery store that had me contemplating relocation across…read morestates just to be able to shop there. Woodman's Market is a local Wisconsin brand of markets that puts every other market I have shopped at to shame. They are community focused and worker owned, which is really cool in today's corporate driven retail environment. In addition to their mission, they are solely grocery driven, meaning they focus on food, and lots of it...you will not find a wide variety of clothing, toys, seasonal items, etc...here, just food, lots and lots of food, and drinks. The store itself is MASSIVE, overwhelmingly so. However it is so thoughtfully laid out and spaced very well. Aisles are wide, sections are very clear and well defined and again, the selection is unreal. This is repeated throughout the store with every section from produce, veggies, snacks, frozen, meats, drinks, etc... In addition to the impressive variety of goods, Woodman's also has a gas station, service/lube station (oil changes), car wash and of course a well-stocked and good sized liquor store! Legit, everything. The store is well maintained conditionally and was very clean, inside and out. Service was top notch as well. From the cart attendance to the stock associate to the cashier...all were great! Overall, Woodman's Market is currently my favorite grocery store in the country. And I am honestly willing to throw hands over it. In addition to restaurants and other spaces I visit when in WI, Woodman's is always considered a priority stop!

I've come to appreciate Woodman's over our many regular trips to Wisconsin…read more It's become our go-to to buy New Glarus beer while in the state, as well as any other snacks for the trip back home. Some things I love about Woodman's: * It's employee-owned, and every employee I've come across has been happy and helpful to chat with. * They are all laid out about the same. For example, I know that I can usually find the cheese curds (something else we typically stop for to give to others back home) in the cases near the back wall. * It's clean. * There is a wide variety of items, including produce and locally made products. * The attached liquor store is also easy to find your way around in. Like others have mentioned, Woodman's does not take most credit cards, so be sure to have cash on hand.

Small corner, maybe fits about 6 adults at counter seating (no tables). They had some games - connect four, hook on the ring and cribbage. Cute little kids area too. Pizza: well this was big for us as a party of two so we have the other half left over. The crust was so crunchy. Toppings were delicious! Real clams, creamy. I thought this pizza got better with each bite. Super cheesy, pulls apart. Would definitely come back to order their other ones!

Love this store. Prices are amazing compared to other grocery stores. The only knock against Aldi…read moreis they don't carry every item imaginable like the larger stores. But the items they do have are usually much cheaper and of the same or better quality. I began going to Aldi just for their wine selection (which is also really good!) and then began grocery shopping there on a regular basis. It's my go-to store now. I've tried some of their beers and they've been OK. Like other Aldi stores, this one has been recently renovated so it's much nicer and better organized. For newcomers, it's important to remember to bring a quarter for the shopping cart and tote bags since they don't bag for you at checkout (you can also buy recycled or plastic bags there). And if Aldi doesn't have everything on your list, there's a HyVee conveniently located next door.

Great place to shop in the time like this. you can get European chocolate without having to break…read moreyour bank. the place used to be pretty empty but now that economy went kaput the past year, I have seen a lot more people shop here. I like the idea that you use your own money to get the cart out and bag your won stuff . It encourages people to recycle the bags and avoid over usage of the plastic bags. The selections there isn't impressive but after a while, you will get used to going there and you won't need other big grocery stores anymore. We go to Aldi three out of four times. I love the fact that every week is different in aldi. They have special sales run each week and you will never know what you find there. If you still aren't an Aldi fan, give it a few weeks, after seeing the difference in your receipt, you will start to like it just like I did. :-) Happy saving!

It's a really large space and has plenty of parking all around it. They had everything you could hope for; micro greens, baked goods, produce, meat, personal care items, live music and more! Several booths were offering samples to try before purchasing. We enjoyed trying cheese curds and baked goods from various stands. The live music was a really nice touch. People were dancing and singing as they were browsing the different booths. It was a lovely morning and we got to take plenty of delicious produce home with us. We will be back!
